When the French "boom" for
Russia shall have passed away, peo-
pie here will perceive, what a few
well-know already, that the Musco-
vite was the slenderest reeds on
which to lean. The settlement of
the Afghan boundary has done
much to open eyes, and so is the
fact, that the Gar is hard up for
money. Now comes the death of
Michael Katkoff, the Peter the Her
nit of "Russia for Russians and no
European friendships" His coun-
trymen will deeply deplore him, and
so will France, but other powers

ever exist between autocracy and
liberalism. "The hind that would
be mated by the lion, must die for
love-" Perhaps M. de Giers may
as deeply deplore him as Bismarck,
and the dead journalist would GER
tainly never put q black border
round the "Moscow Gazette" if
both statesmen had been gathered
to their fathers. The Poles never
liked Katkoff since he advocated the
wiping out of their nationality, and
became the apologist of Mourawiew.
Indeed, all conquerors resemble
each other in one respect-keeping
what they seize; hence, why the
Bismarck litany is so popular with
Tritons-Beati possidens, while
thanking, they are not as other Tri-
tons are, eXtrotioners and unjust.
Public meetings in Paris, at least,
have been killed, by the liberty even
to hold them-though always under
cover, for despite 1889, an open air
meeting would be viewed at the end
of the world. A meeting was called
to protest against the Deputies thin
ing out the Metropolitan railway
bill. Ex-Minister Lockroy was to
preside, and did his best to do so.
But he reckoned without the COM
bined forces of Anarchists and
Communists. Not q speech could
be made; the platform was beseiged
and re-beseiged; one speaker faint
ed, and his body was passed out
over mems head, but sent back on
reaching the door. Clovis Hughues
endeavored to put in few words in
poetry-prose, with the faint orator
on his arm; no use. At last Lock
roy put on his hat, asked hurrah
for the Republic, which eX-General
Eudes replied, by inviting several
for the Commune. The happiest
mortals wore those III the gallery,
who chorused the Boulanger Mar
seillaise. The police then cleared
the hall and the doors were closed.
The Municipal Council of Paris,
holding the strings OF the purse for
the endowment of the city primary
schools, still keep materialistic eye
on the contents of the classbooks.
That body is terribly afraid, lest any |
religious allusion should creep into
them. Thus grammars and reading
books have undergone another anti
religious examination, and horror
of horrors, the following lines have
been discovered: II fear God, and

the rising generation to be imbued
with such aphorisms. In the case
Of adults the matter is not very
